On The Wall
Unveiling the Silent Messages: On The Wall by Cat People
Lyrics
Acting on my best behavior
Striving to behave in the most appropriate or favorable manner.
Lying saying I'll see you later
Being dishonest by promising to meet in the future without genuine intent.
Now I'm feeling like a stranger
Currently experiencing a sense of unfamiliarity or detachment.
Got a new friend, think you'd hate her
Forming a connection with someone new who might be disliked by the listener.
But your friends aren't my friends
Highlighting a disconnect between the speaker's and the listener's social circles.
Hate it when you play pretend
Disliking when the listener pretends or is insincere.
I don't really wanna waste my time at all
Expressing a reluctance to waste time.
I can see it there written on the wall
Perceiving a clear indication or prediction of a situation on the verge of happening.
I don't really wanna waste my time at all
Reiterating the unwillingness to squander time.
I can see it there written on the wall
Confirming the evident foresight of an impending event or outcome.
Don't know when you got so jaded
Not recognizing the point at which the listener became disillusioned or cynical.
Only wrong in the way you framed it
Asserting that the listener's perspective on things is the only incorrect aspect.
Is it worth being so degraded
Questioning the value of being degraded or belittled in this situation.
When we know we could never make it
Acknowledging the impossibility of achieving success in the relationship.
But your friends aren't my friends
Reiterating the disparity between social circles, echoing line 5.
Hate it when you play pretend
Disliking insincerity or pretense, echoing line 6.
I don't really wanna waste my time at all
Reiterating the reluctance to waste time.
I can see it there written on the wall
Confirming the perception of an impending situation or outcome, echoing line 9.
I don't really wanna waste my time at all
Reiterating the unwillingness to squander time, echoing line 10.
I can see it there written on The wall
Reiterating the evident foresight of an impending event or outcome, echoing line 11.
